Caring in an Algorithmic World: Ethical Perspectives for Designers and Developers in Building AI Algorithms to Fight Fake News

Fake news research trends, linkages to generative artificial intelligence and sustainable development goals

“…AI algorithms have been shown to be useful in detecting fake news or misinformation that may be interfering with efficiency and optimization [ 60 , 61 ]. Proponents of using AI in the detection of fake news suggest that certain principles need to be followed, including the development of strategies by the software designers to combat fake news, enabling software users to report fake news when detected, and keeping users informed of the dissemination of fake news [ 62 ]. For example, deep learning, machine learning, and natural language processing can extract text- or image-based cues to train models to aid in the prediction of the authenticity of news [ 2 , 63 ].…”
